The cow Bos primigenius (which is bred for meat and milk) has a smaller brain and larger eyes than closely related wild species of ungulates. These traits most likely arose by ________.

#Unit 9. Evolution & Diversity of Life Forms
  1. natural selection, because these traits evolved in the population over time

  2. natural selection, because these traits were not consciously selected by humans

  3. artificial selection, because changes in these traits co-occurred with human selection for high milk output and high muscle content

  4. artificial selection, because these animals differ from their close relatives and common ancestor

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

A certain kind of snail can have a right-handed direction of shell coiling (D) or left handed coiling (d). If direction of coiling is due to a protein deposited by the mother in the egg cytoplasm, then a Dd egg-producing snail and a dd sperm-producing snail will have offspring of which genotype(s) and phenotype(s)?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

Maternal inheritance of coiling of shell in snail (limnaea peregra) is well established. The dextral coiling depends on dominant allele D and sinistral coiling depends upon recessive allele d. A female F1 progeny of dextral(Dd) type is crossed with a male dextral (Dd). What will be the phenotype ratio in progeny?
